On July 21, 2026, representatives of the Company provided us with a computer-generated automobile loan data file and related record layout containing data, as represented to us by the Company, as of the close of business July 19, 2026, with respect to 8,641 automobile loans (the “Statistical Loan File”). At the Company’s instruction, we randomly selected 175 automobile loans from Statistical Loan File (the “Sample Loans”) and performed certain comparisons and recomputations for each of the Sample Loans relating to the automobile loan characteristics (the “Characteristics”) set forth on the Statistical Loan File and indicated below.

9. Origination date
10. Borrower state

| Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited |
We compared Characteristics 1. through 8. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the Consumer Loan and Security Agreement or the Truth-in-Lending Disclosure Statement (collectively, the “Contract”) and to screenshots from the Company’s origination system (the “Origination System Screenshots”).
We compared Characteristics 9. through 11. to the corresponding information set forth on the Origination System Screenshots.
With respect to Characteristic 12., for purposes of our comparison, we were instructed to observe the existence of an “Invoice” or screen shots from the Company’s API system (the “API Screen Shots”) in the loan folder, provided to us by the Company, of such Sample Loan. If an Invoice or API Screen Shot did (i) not exist, the model type was deemed to be “Used,” (ii) exist and indicated an “MSRP,” the model type was deemed to be “New” or (iii) exist and did not indicate an MSRP, the model type was be deemed to be “Used.” We compared such model type (as determined above) to the model type set forth on the Statistical Loan File.
Further, we compared Characteristic 1. to the Title Certificate, Application for Title or Registration, Application for Registration of New Vehicle, Vehicle/Vessel Transfer and Reassignment Form, Report of Sale – Used Vehicle, Power of Attorney or other related correspondence (collectively, the “Title Certificate”).
At your instruction, for purposes of such comparisons:
| | with respect to our comparison of Characteristic 2., we were instructed to round the original amount financed (as set forth on the Statistical Loan File) to the nearest $0.01; |
| | with respect to Characteristic 9., differences of three days or less are deemed to be “in agreement;” |
| | with respect to Characteristic 11., we were instructed to round the Newest AIRA score (as set forth on the Statistical Loan File) to the nearest whole number; and |
| | with respect to Characteristic 12., a model type of “Used,” as determined above, is deemed to be “in agreement” with “Pre-owned,” as set forth on the Statistical Loan File. |
In addition to the procedures described above, for each of the Sample Loans, we observed the existence of the following (collectively, the “Additional Source Documents”):
| | a Title Certificate (as defined above); |
| | the security interest of Lendbuzz Funding LLC is annotated on the Title Certificate, except for those Sample Loans where we were provided a Vehicle/Vessel Transfer and Reassignment Form or Report of Sale – Used Vehicle for our procedures; |
| | a Credit Application and Credit Bureau Report for the borrower and co-borrower (if applicable) (each as set forth on the Company’s origination system); |
| | Truth-in-Lending Disclosure Statement; and |
| | the Agreement to Provide Insurance, Verification of Insurance, Policy Declaration, Certificate of Insurance, Insurance Identification Card, Insurance Verification Request, Insurance Application, Binder of Insurance, Proof of Insurance, Lien Holder Service Center Summary or other related documentation denoting the borrower’s current insurance status (collectively, the “Agreement to Provide Insurance”). |
The automobile loan documents described above, including any information obtained from the indicated systems, and any other related documents used in support of the Characteristics were provided to us by representatives of the Company and are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Loan Documents.” We were not requested to perform, and we did not perform, any procedures with respect to the preparation or verification of any of the information set forth on the Loan Documents and we make no representations concerning the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained therein. In certain instances, our procedures were performed using data imaged facsimiles or photocopies of the Loan Documents. In addition, we make no representations as to whether the Loan Documents are comprehensive or valid instruments or reflect the current prevailing terms with respect to the corresponding Sample Loans.
